DALLAS 1963
MINUTAGLIO, BILL
In the early 1960s, Dallas was brewing with political passions, a city full of extreme and unlikely
characters, many of them dead-set against a Kennedy presidency-rabid politicos like defrocked military
general Edwin A. Walker; oil baron H. L. Hunt; W. A. Criswell, leader of the largest Baptist congregation in
the world; and fanatical congressman Bruce Alger; along with a host of gangsters, unsung civil rights
leaders, strippers, billionaires, and marauding police. Beginning with the campaign for Kennedy's election
and set against a nation in transition, Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Davis ingeniously explore the swirling
forces that led numerous friends and aides to warn the president against stopping in Dallas on his fateful
trip to Texas.

DAM BUSTERS
HOLLAND, JAMES
The night of 16 May, 1943. Nineteen specially adapted Lancaster bombers take off from RAF Scampton
in Lincolnshire, each with a huge 9000lb cylindrical bomb strapped underneath it. Their mission: to
destroy three dams deep within the German heartland, which provide the lifeblood to the industries
supplying the Third Reich's war machine. From the outset it was an almost impossible task, a suicide
mission: to fly low and at night in formation over many miles of enemy-occupied territory at the very limit
of the Lancasters' capacity, and drop a new weapon that had never been tried operationally before from a
precise height of just sixty feet from the water at some of the most heavily defended targets in Germany.
More than that, the entire operation had to be put together in less than ten weeks. When visionary
aviation engineer Barnes Wallis's concept of the bouncing bomb was green lighted, he hadn't even drawn
up his plans for the weapon that was to smash the dams. What followed was an incredible race against
time, which, despite numerous setbacks and against huge odds, became one of the most successful and
game-changing bombing raids of all time.
